N8 screen gone blank, can't turn off!

Was using facebook this morning, clicked to upload a photo and screen went black. Can't turn it off by holding the power button, it vibrates when I push the lock/unlock button but that is it, nothing appears on the screen. Help!!!!!!

think I'm gonna have to send it off for repair but I'm reluctant to because from past experience they always say there was water damage even when your phone has never been anywhere near any water.
Don't know in what part of the world you are but you can always escalate issue and demand an independent inspection should this be repairer's response which seems totally unwarranted; that said dew point condensation, sweat and relative humidity all bear a part in starting corrosion within device.

  • Iphone: Screen gone black, Won't turn off, Restore has failed, 1.1.3

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with my iphone after upgrading to 1.1.3. The screen has gone black with a white spinning wheel(resembles a flower sort of).The wheel however is not spinning. I can see the top bar with the time, battery, and signal strength. The phone however will not turn off and restore yields an "Unknown Error (-19). Has anyone else had this problem after updating? Anyone have a fix for it or is this a job for the genius bar?
    Thanks for your replies.

  • My iPhone gone mad can't turn off voice control which turned on by itself now can't access phone as can't get past my screen lock! Also it keeps calling random people in my contacts help please

    iPhone 4 gone mad voice control taken over phone, can't get past my screen lock it won't  respond at all, keeps dialling random people won't do anything at all!!! Even when go on voice control screen and hold power off and home screen down nothing No response. Help please? My mother very sick in hospital and need my mobile!!

    Have you tried to power off and on?  If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
    If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

  • 865 PE Neo2, Intermitantly screen goes blank and monitor turns off.

    Fans all will run and monitor will not come back on.  Have to press reset button to restart.  Also sometimes on boot up monitor will not turn on and it continues to book like normal with no display.  Is this a failing video card or motherboard.  Runs good, just not very reliable.

    My have leaky capacitors on Video card and Motherboard.
     Are you saying you have bad capacitors on both the video card and the motherboard? If yes then that is most likely what is causing your problem. If you can replace the caps yourself or have someone that can do it for you without costing too much give that a try otherwise you will need to get new boards.
     Can you take some pictures and post them?

  • Ipod screen lights up but is blank. can't turn it off. what can i do?

    ipod touch 4th generation screen light up but the screen is blank. we cannot turn it off. any suggestions?

    Try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My screen on my iPhone 4s is gone blank and wont turn back on. Even when i reset the phone it is just blank. I know the phone is on because when i change the switch on the side it vibrates.

    my screen on my iPhone 4s is gone blank and wont turn back on. Even when i reset the phone it is just blank. I know the phone is on because when i change the switch on the side it vibrates.
    Also before this the phone wasnt picking up any signal so it worked basically as an ipod.
    How much would it cost to repair this problem?

    Hello ozzy9294,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on 3GS

    How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?

    Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
    Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification.

    How can I turn off computer screen, when mirroring to apple tv?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't. Mirroring is just what it says, it mirrors exactly what is on your computer screen, if there is nothing on your computer screen, that's what you will see on your TV screen.
